VB7

Building upon the basic VBxxx (VB1000, VB2000 and VB3000) Series platform, the vbx (vb5, vb6, vb7 and vb8) represent our new platform of 24-bit Portable Predictive Maintenance data collector series offering extra power and convenience of two and four channel capability. The two-channel VB7 provides fast routine data collection with efficient dual-plane balancing and all special troubleshooting techniques such as coastdown/run-up, bump testing, cross-channel phase and longtime wave recording. The 2-plane balancing feature allows quick diagnosis and correction of Dynamic Imbalance, the most common form of imbalance found. Combine this with the large display with dual cursors on spectral data on site - the vb7 represents one of the best value-for-money products available today.

vb7Included with the vb7 is ASCENT level 2, the latest AWARD winning generation vibration analysis software. Level 2 include a machine build Wizard with band parameter settings for a wide range of machines following the TA (Technical Associates) monitoring chart. This program enables you to program the instrument with up to 780 separate machine files. A library of over 200 customizable parameter sets is available enabling a vast array of measurement options. "The Bearing Expert" is also part of this value-driven package. This bearing database software enables extensive fault frequency identification for rolling bearings.
